Applied Artificial Intelligence Proceedings of the 7th International FLINS Conference, Genova, Italy, 29-31 August 2006

FLINS, originally an acronym for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent Technologies in Nuclear Science, is now extended to Applied Artificial Intelligence for Applied Research. The contributions to the seventh in the series of FLINS conferences contained in this volume cover state-of-the-art research and development in applied artificial intelligence for applied research in general and for power/nuclear engineering in particular. Contents: Learning Techniques in Service Robotic Environment (Z Z Bien et al.); The Role of Soft Computing in Applied Sciences (P P Wang); New Operators for Context Adaptation of Mamdani Fuzzy Systems (A Botta et al.); Lukasiewicz Algebra Model of Linguistic Values of Truth and Their Reasoning (L Yi et al.); Annihilator and Alpha-Subset (X Q Long et al.); On PCA Error of Subject Classification (L H Feng et al.); Knowledge Discovery for Customer Classification on the Principle of Maximum Profit (C Zeng et al.); Fuzzy Multi-Objective Interactive Goal Programming Approach to Aggregate Production Planning (T Ertay); Analysing Success Criteria for ICT Projects (K Milis & K Vanhoof); Prioritization of Relational Capital Measurement Indicators Using Fuzzy AHP (A Beskese & F T Bozbura); Risk Analysis and Management of Urban Rainstorm Water Logging in Tianjin (S Han et al.); Obstacle Avoidance Learning for Biomimetic Robot Fish (Z Shen et al.); Urban Signal Control Using Intelligent Agents (M A Alipour & S Jalili); Parallel Evolutionary Methods Applied to a PWR Core Reload Pattern Optimization (R Schirru et al.); and other papers. Readership: Graduate students, researchers and industrialists in AI, applied mathematics, computer science and engineering, electrical & electronic engineering, and nuclear/power engineering.
